Our 4-6 inch snowfall last night turned out to be just a scattering of flakes floating in the air that didn't even stick and melted as soon as it hit. Anyway, here is a picture

Thorny, that's a good thing right? My friend is actually upset that she isn't going to get a foot of snow. She lives about 2 hours away from me...I told her she's
I just stuck the camera out the backdoor.....they SAY we should get 6-10 inches...we'll see though. It's been snowing forever, but the roads were wet and it's just now starting to stick to stuff.
Our mountains have disappeared! There is a really big one back there behind the snow!
Just laying on the grass.
And starting to look pretty on the trees.

I really hope it stays that way to be honest....
I did pull off the track the last time.. Took me and the hub about an half and hour to get it back on to finish...it was snowing so hard we barely could see anything but a couple of street lights, piercing thier little area of light..
*I think it's being worked to death, the belt thingie sounds like it's slippin' now too* it's just been so much amount and wet underneath it..
I'm going out now to take a peak if it's doing anything and let the dog out to go potty....

I don't think its at you yet, Weezie. It seems to have a line going through the bottom half of PA right now. ...it JUST got to us...literally...only tiny flakes (my poppop used to say that little flakes mean a big storm). We're not supposed to get heavy snowing until about 6 or 7 tonight.

I went out to do the dawggggg... and it wasn't too bad... the sun was sorta peakin' out, half tiny bit.. *it's almost a good skiing kinda day.. warm*ish* but not so warm youre' over heating when skiing..
But as I was just comin' in... there were a few, and I mean a few, gently falling teeny~tiny flakes..

So what's the latest news of the snowfall for everyone on the northeast coast? We're supposed to get it tonight, but it is completely clear, blue and sunny right now, has been all day.

Hi all - it started snowing here right at 5p.m., but is not sticking to the roads yet. The grass is starting to become covered...
I have to go pick up Amy and Nikki now - they were invited to a girlfriend's Valentine's Day Tea Party - 14 girls, semi-formal attire required! Like that?
I'm sure she won't give me any details, but if I do manage to get any, I'll let you know.

We have a good bit now...I'd say 5-6 inches worth.
That's funny MissJamie.........My 4 year old niece is at moms tonight and she asked me what we could make with the snow in the morning....
Snowplows are out in full force.
For some reason I can't get--It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas--out of my head.....This should've been here in December.

I can't make my pics small enough I tried to fix it like 30 times when you go to resize it on photobucket which do you choose for the regular size like everybody else's? there's 25%,50%,75% sorry about that

Resize it using Photoshop. Go to "Image" on the toll bar and choose "Resize Picture"

I don't have photoshop (really wish I did though!)or infraview...just the program that came with my digital camera. I'll try to resize them to 75 next time though

I just got home from work. We've had 7 1/2 inches. I think it's probably done now except for drifting. The moon is out and it's pretty windy.
We had a dry snow here, but down in Roanoke, it was wet. Every little branch was covered with snow. It was gorgeous. I got to drive around in it for 8 hours.

I haven't gone out to look with the tapemeasure, but it looks close to a foot out there. It snowed since early yesterday am, but was mostly just wetting the road, and a by late afternoon, was a dusting. We went to visit some friends about 40 minutes away, and when we left, there was maybe 2 or so inches, and the roads were just covered a bit, but not bad. When we left there to come home about 10:30pm, There was maybe 5-6" of it by then. And of course, overnight, it kept going.. and like I said, prolly looks to be about a foot.
No pics this time.. I just woke up, and no coffee yet, it's brewing, and I'm still in my nightgown..lol. Brrrr.. it's cold outside and I don't wanna open the door!

The snow hasn't started here yet, which freaks me out even more cuz they said it would start sometime after midnite, I got to work today, heading in hope it doesn't get too bad ........

We got about 8 inches here. Fairly dry snow...just a little heavy to shovel. The wind was really bad early this morning...the car looks soo funny! I took a picture of it for you all to see...it looks like its speeding through the snow with snow blowing off of it....but that's how I found it this morning!
Well, I think I'm gonna have to post the picture later. Photobucket must be having problems...I can't get it to resize my picture.

I just saw a map of the storm, it missed us by a longggggggggggggg mile.. It's only the tip of the East lower part of NY.. Coool... we'd had enough... for now anyways..
I do hope everyone is alright.. They said in parts it's blizzard conditions..
They can be tricky..driving in them, especially when it's blowing and the snow is really light..

I just posted this picture in the CH - it's the only one I could take - can't open any of the doors because the snow falls inside, and the windows are all pretty much covered with blown snow - it's soooooo windy!!! I can deal with the snow, but really DETEST the wind!
Glad it missed you, Weez, and that the others didn't get this one tooo badly.

We had about 6 inches, but it's all starting to melt away already. The roads and sidewalks are mostly clear already.
My sister is training for a new job down near Fairfax VA and said they had about 11 inches.

It started snowing here about 11:30am. It's the little itty-bitty snowflakes but they are coming down fast and furious, the wind is wicked. The ground is slowly getting more and more white, instead of brown and yellow.

I just made it home from work, the roads are quite treacherous, I went really slow and only saw about 6 cars the 8 mile trip. It's dark so I can't get pics right now, will try to tomorrow. Our snow pretty much looks like what lynne got, 6-8 inches with lots of drifting.

Reading all your posts regarding snow makes me jealous as my apple trees are dying for snowfall .. the only snow we had was about 4 inches and that too on the 1st Jan --- since then we had rain for 2 entire days and thats it.
If it doesn't snow I'm pretty sure our apple crop will be a total wipe out due to lack of moisture which the soil gets due to snow.
Keepig my fingers crossed that the cold wave does materialise .. or you ppl pls pray and send the snow my way !! I'll be more than glad to accept it .. even 5 ft wud be gladly accepted ...

Khaadu, I'm praying for you to get some snow! I'll gladly send it your way. If I didn't have a long, steep driveway to shovel by myself I might enjoy this more. It is great for the gardens. Everyone up here always calls snow "poor man's fertilizer"

Khaadu, I have well over 8 ft here so far. How much do you want? we'll probably get another 4 or 5 feet before the winter is over. That's life in the maritimes.
The news results are in:(highest snowfall amounts) NY Central Park-68 cm Maryland(Between Baltimore+Washington)-53 cm 80,000 people there still with no power. Philadelphia, Pa-45 cm Hartford, Conn and Wayne, Nova Scotia-43 cm
There are 5 planes that were heading to Boston and have made an emergency landing in Newfoundland. They will be stuck there for a couple of days because the storm is set to hit them hard today.
We will get about 30 cm from this one. As we say here 'a small storm this time'. Supposed to get another few storms by the end of the weekend. And to think that Bill is talking about planting trees. Sometimes life is not fair.

We've had enough snow this year, to just be called snow. It barely covered the grass, as dry as it's been even snow would be nice.

We continue to be underwhelmed here with about 12 flakes a minute - however it has added up to barely a dusting for two mornings. Hope you all are safe up north and can stay indoors for a while.

Tamara, I don't mind all the snow that comes my way .. 4-5-6 ft !! Everything will be gladly accepted .. We rely a lot on snow for a lot of things ( apples, drinking water supply )and for the past few yrs the weather has really changed drastically !! As a kid I remember having snow for X-mas without fail and that too atleast a foot or two .. but since 2001 its all changed
At this rate I'll have to cut down my apple trees and probably go in with stone fruit orchards ... and am just dreading it !!
